Okay. We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account. When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads. As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad. My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off. Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work??? Any help would be very much appreciated.
RyanThere is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one

I am being charged for international msgs which i haven't sent to a number of the UK.i tried to activate my iMessage and FaceTime using wifi but then it didn't connect. all settings have been turned off in my phone! i also have reset my phone with all the settings. but when i contacted my carrier, he said that the balance deduction is because of the international messages i have sent, but i have sent NONE! every time i switch on my phone, balance gets deducted. imessage and facetime are all disabled! but then the problem started since yesterday when i tried to activate them but had disabled them all at the next moment! but the charges are still being applicable for some international messages as per my mobile carrier. what to do? is there some problem with my phone or carrier?

Should i jailbreak my iPad Air? What is the pros and cons of jailbreaking?
Should i jailbreak my iPad Air? What is the pros and cons of jailbreaking?
If you jailbreak your iPad:
1. Your Apple warranty, if any is remaining, is canceled.
2. We can't help you in these forums.
3. Apple Support and the Genius Bar won't help you.
4. You can get a virus and malware.
5. You may "brick your iPad and have an $$$ paperweight.

The iMessage and FaceTime on the ipad will not work.
For Christmas I got the ipad2 with just wifi. I logged in with the same apple Id on the ipad that I use on my iPhone 4. I set the ipad up... It's connected to wifi and the iMessage and FaceTime will not work. When I try to send a message, after a minute or so, it says message failure. When I try to FaceTime someone it says connection lost when I AM STILL connected to the wifi. Does anyone know what I can do to fix the problem??
ThanksThere is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know.
If you're trying to sign in to FaceTime, try to sign in to iMessage in the Messages application, or vice versa.
Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative. I can't confirm. -

Hi.I noticed that my imessage and facetime is not working and at the same time i cannot receive any notifications on facebbok.
Hi,
To exclude software conflict, i recommend you to make a clean boot and then have a test.
If this issue still persists, i suggest you re-built all COM ports through registry.
Locate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\COM Name Arbiter, delete ComDB key, reboot your computer.
